An overwhelming majority of humans (ignoring rare defects) are born either male or female. This is a biological fact established at the cellular level in one’s chromosomes. This fact can never change, no matter how mentally ill one is.

Beyond the cellular level, more overt indicators of human gender exist, the genitalia being most significant. Mutilating one’s genitalia will never convert one to a new gender, no matter how mentally ill one is.

A trans-woman will never mother a child as a woman can, and a trans-man will never father a child as a man can. The misuse of science and technology to create these trans-creatures is just offensive science fiction.

While these trans-people may very well be gay, the “T” in LGBT needs its own separate honorary month: a mental illness month. Get these people the help that they need, but don’t lump them in with perfectly sane gay folks and don’t try to change the sane world around the trans- to reinforce their delusions.
